When you are climbing a hill on a bike with different speeds, why does it seem like you are pedaling a lot to cover a short dist

ance? What happens if you switch to a higher gear in hopes of not having to pedal as much?

It seems like your pedaling a lot because it takes more energy and is way slower than a regular road. It you switch to the higher gear it will make you go slower because it is made for going down hill or going high speeds and a lower gear will help you more cause its easier and it will make it go faster.

At the instant under consideration, the hydraulic cylinder AB has a length L = 0.75 m, and this length is momentarily increasing
Inessa [10]

Answer:

vB = - 0.176 m/s   (↓-)

Explanation:

Given

(AB) = 0.75 m

(AB)' = 0.2 m/s

vA = 0.6 m/s

θ = 35°

vB = ?

We use the formulas

Sin θ = Sin 35° = (OA)/(AB) ⇒  (OA) = Sin 35°*(AB)

⇒   (OA) = Sin 35°*(0.75 m) = 0.43 m

Cos θ = Cos 35° = (OB)/(AB) ⇒  (OB) = Cos 35°*(AB)

⇒   (OB) = Cos 35°*(0.75 m) = 0.614 m

We apply Pythagoras' theorem as follows

(AB)² = (OA)² + (OB)²

We derive the equation

2*(AB)*(AB)' = 2*(OA)*vA + 2*(OB)*vB

⇒  (AB)*(AB)' = (OA)*vA + (OB)*vB

⇒  vB = ((AB)*(AB)' - (OA)*vA) / (OB)

then we have

⇒  vB = ((0.75 m)*(0.2 m/s) - (0.43 m)*(0.6 m/s) / (0.614 m)

⇒  vB = - 0.176 m/s   (↓-)

A plane wall of thickness 0.1 m and thermal conductivity 25 W/m·K having uniform volumetric heat generation of 0.3 MW/m3 is insu
Contact [7]

Answer:

T = 167 ° C

Explanation:

To solve the question we have the following known variables

Type of surface = plane wall ,

Thermal conductivity k = 25.0 W/m·K,  

Thickness L = 0.1 m,

Heat generation rate q' = 0.300 MW/m³,

Heat transfer coefficient hc = 400 W/m² ·K,

Ambient temperature T∞ = 32.0 °C

We are to determine the maximum temperature in the wall

Assumptions for the calculation are as follows

  • Negligible heat loss through the insulation
  • Steady state system
  • One dimensional conduction across the wall

Therefore by the one dimensional conduction equation we have

k\frac{d^{2}T }{dx^{2} } +q'_{G} = \rho c\frac{dT}{dt}

During steady state

\frac{dT}{dt} = 0 which gives k\frac{d^{2}T }{dx^{2} } +q'_{G} = 0

From which we have \frac{d^{2}T }{dx^{2} }  = -\frac{q'_{G}}{k}

Considering the boundary condition at x =0 where there is no heat loss

 \frac{dT}{dt} = 0 also at the other end of the plane wall we have

-k\frac{dT }{dx } = hc (T - T∞) at point x = L

Integrating the equation we have

\frac{dT }{dx }  = \frac{q'_{G}}{k} x+ C_{1} from which C₁ is evaluated from the first boundary condition thus

0 = \frac{q'_{G}}{k} (0)+ C_{1}  from which C₁ = 0

From the second integration we have

T  = -\frac{q'_{G}}{2k} x^{2} + C_{2}

From which we can solve for C₂ by substituting the T and the first derivative into the second boundary condition s follows

-k\frac{q'_{G}L}{k} = h_{c}( -\frac{q'_{G}L^{2} }{k}  + C_{2}-T∞) → C₂ = q'_{G}L(\frac{1}{h_{c} }+ \frac{L}{2k} } )+T∞

T(x) = \frac{q'_{G}}{2k} x^{2} + q'_{G}L(\frac{1}{h_{c} }+ \frac{L}{2k} } )+T∞ and T(x) = T∞ + \frac{q'_{G}}{2k} (L^{2}+(\frac{2kL}{h_{c} }} )-x^{2} )

∴ Tmax → when x = 0 = T∞ + \frac{q'_{G}}{2k} (L^{2}+(\frac{2kL}{h_{c} }} ))

Substituting the values we get

T = 167 ° C
